This is a great last-minute recipe for unexpected guests as I almost always have these recipe ingredients on hand. There are never leftovers! I think I added balsamic vinegar and fresh orange juice to a basic bean dip recipe and this version was the keeper. This recipe can also be made ahead and kept refrigerated; can easily be doubled. —JanetFL

Hi JFL! Made this recipe a week ago, beautiful simple flavors, we loved it. Just made it again and added a small sweet mini pepper, 1/4 tsp. coriander, cumin and smoked paprika, these are ingredients I use in the vegetarian black bean burger, recipe onsite. Delicious either way, and I am going to heat this second batch up! Thanks.

P.S. I'm a bit consumed by our fire danger here in Colorado and so may be distracted but I cannot find your vegetarian black bean burger recipe. Can you send me a link, please?
